Sensory Symptoms
Sensory symptoms refer to unusual experiences related to the senses, such as sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell. These symptoms can manifest as heightened sensitivity, where a person may find everyday stimuli overwhelming, or diminished sensitivity, where they may not notice certain sensations at all. Sensory symptoms are often associated with conditions like autism spectrum disorder, migraine, or sensory processing disorder.
Individuals experiencing sensory symptoms may report discomfort from bright lights, loud noises, or certain textures. They might also have strong reactions to specific smells or tastes. Understanding these symptoms is essential for creating supportive environments and improving quality of life for those affected.
